There are several things to keep in mind when creating your live video, including writing an engaging description, limiting your audience by location, and adding a guest to your broadcast. Follow the tips in this article to make the most of your live video. We hope you enjoy it! And don&#8217;t forget to share it with your friends and family!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_go_live_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to go live on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to go live on Facebook, read this article! Facebook is a huge, social media network, and going live requires some basic steps. You need to allow Facebook access to your microphone and camera. Then, follow a few easy steps to set up your video. Once the setup is complete, you can start recording your live video. Be sure to write a short description about what you&#8217;re doing before you go live.<\/p>\n<p>Having a strong audience is important when going live on Facebook. While most Facebook viewers are passive, this isn&#8217;t a reason to skip over the importance of engagement. Moreover, a high relevancy score makes your broadcast more likely to appear on users&#8217; News Feeds. So, engage with your viewers and answer their comments. This will increase your chances of getting more viewers and retaining them longer. Remember to mention the viewers&#8217; names! Having someone else monitor your broadcast is a great way to respond to comments from a desktop computer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Writing_a_compelling_description\"><\/span>Writing a compelling description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While a good video will get you more views, a good Facebook live description is just as important. Your description will appear above your video, and it should clearly describe what you&#8217;re offering. It should also be interesting enough to draw viewers&#8217; curiosity, but leave out enough information that they won&#8217;t miss the point. Use emoticons, tag people, and location to entice viewers. Writing a compelling description will help you get more views, and you&#8217;ll be much more likely to get your live video broadcasts noticed.<\/p>\n<p>Once your video has gone live, it&#8217;s time to write a description. Your description will appear in the news feed and will also be published as post content once your broadcast is over. Your description should tell potential viewers what to expect during your broadcast, so make sure you write an engaging and interesting description. After all, you don&#8217;t want them to skip the rest of your content! There&#8217;s nothing worse than a poorly-written description that doesn&#8217;t attract viewers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricting_your_audience_by_location\"><\/span>Restricting your audience by location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered whether you should restrict your audience by location on Facebook live, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. This feature is only available to those using the Facebook API (application programming interface), which is used by brands, media companies, and screencasting tools. If you&#8217;re using the Facebook app, however, you can&#8217;t limit your audience by location. You can, however, use geo controls to limit your audience by age and gender.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to limit your audience by region, you can use Post-Level Location Targeting. This option offers a lot more flexibility than Page-Level Location Targeting. While you can only target one country, you can exclude other areas using Post-Level Location Targeting. You can also select specific demographics to target, including age and gender. The location limit only applies to Facebook ads, so if you want to restrict your audience by region, make sure you&#8217;re targeting people in your target region.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_guest\"><\/span>Adding a guest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a guest to your Facebook live broadcast and have two people appear on the same screen. The live feature is available in both landscape and portrait modes. To invite a guest, add their contact information to your Facebook profile and select the option for &#8220;Invite Guest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In order to add a guest to your Facebook live broadcast, make sure you have a microphone and camera access. Then, click &#8220;Live.&#8221; To start, write a compelling description about what the live broadcast is about and tag a friend. When done, click the &#8220;add guest&#8221; button to include the guest. Once the live video is up, the guest can leave at any time, subject to Facebook&#8217;s Community Standards.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scheduling_your_broadcast_in_advance\"><\/span>Scheduling your broadcast in advance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Scheduled broadcasts can help you reach your target audience at a specific time and day. By scheduling your broadcast in advance, your followers will receive reminders and notifications of when they can expect your live broadcast. Scheduling your broadcast on Facebook live is easy. Navigate to your page or group and click on &#8220;Publishing tools&#8221; on the left sidebar. Then click on &#8220;Videos&#8221; to select when you would like to broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>You can schedule your Facebook Live broadcast a few days or even a week in advance. To schedule your broadcast in advance, simply create a post, link, or announcement, and activate your scheduling notification. Then, your broadcast will be published and go live at the scheduled time. To make sure that your broadcast goes live without any problems, you can use a service such as Agorapulse, which allows you to set reminders and a reminder system for your broadcast.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vPnOhkX5G8M\" height=\"287\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"514\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get to Facebook Live?
